i just got chuck klosterman IV: a decade of curious people and dangerous ideas in the mail from amazon. it's not for me though, but rather it's a birthday present for my brother. i'll probably end up reading it eventually though, since i enjoyed the few articles of his that i've read.

I hadn't read most of the Marvel comics run before so i've been collecting IDW's reprints. Most of the stories have been pretty good up to now, but it looks like this is the point where the quality of both the writing & art goes downhill.

ah a fellow Lovecraft fan. I believe that it is spelt Eldritch but you were close. I don't have that particular collection but I do have "The Haunter of the Dark and Other Tales" and more recently "Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft" tho not recent enough for it to be put in my previous post

The last book I bought was "Hell's Pawn" by fellow Orger, Jay Bell. Holy cow, was it AWESOME! And I appreciated the massive amount of research into various religions and mythologies that went the writing of this after-life adventure!

Lol, well it aint proper Lovecraft (or a homage) if it doesn't involve Mr Combs

Isaac Newton and the Transmutation of Alchemy -- a fascinating study of Newton's little known but massive studies into alchemy in general and The Philosopher's Stone in specific. Also, River of Perfumes, a novel written by my best friend Mike Stokey, regarding the Battle of Hue. (Mike served as military technical advisor on dozens of films ranging from Saving Private Ryan and Casualties of War to Band of Brothers and Starship Troopers. http://warriorsinc.com) His novel is riveting.
